Can't get enough of Emile Menasche
author: Anne Isaaks
Heartfelt, technically beautiful, and mesmerizing music. If I were a filmmaker, he'd be scoring my work. Menasche's brilliance and prodigious gifts radiate throughout. Dynamic, soulful, and the ideal soundtrack to my working/driving/downtime/canoodling life. All I can say, is, I want more.

Excellent album and highly recommended
author: Sean McDevitt
Some truly fantastic instrumental work on here -- many layers and textures, with great hooks and melodic ideas throughout. This disc is in heavy rotation on my stereo. As an added bonus, it seems to have a very calming, soothing (and welcome!) influence on sometimes-fussy five-month-olds who are unwilling to go to sleep!
As an on-again-off-again"industry" type, I spin dozens of releases each year. This one gets a permanent place in my library.

Captivating Instrumentalist
author: Rick Anderson
I had the pleasure of seeing Emile perform these songs live, and was mesmerized. I bought his CD "Overtones" at the show and it is one of my favorites. He is a wonderful instrumentalist and a gifted song writer. Emile also has a captivating style in his cover songs; "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" is a perfect example. Less evident on this album is Emile's ability as a rocker; his Country, Blues and Rock licks range from unique to classic. Rock On, Mr. Menasche!

In the meantime, Overtones has earned it's place on my gift list for family and friends. A must!
